Bowling alone together: Academic writing as distributed cognition

Blaise Cronin

Journal of the American Society for Information Science and Technology, 2004, vol. 55, issue 6, 557-560

Abstract: The twentieth century saw the progressive collectivization of science‐dramatic growth in teamwork in general and large‐scale collaboration in particular. Cognitive partnering in the conduct of research and scholarship has become commonplace, and this trend is reflected in rates of co‐authorship and sub‐authorship collaboration. The effects of these developments on academic writing are discussed and theorized in terms of distributed cognition.
